SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. .27.-Senator
James G. Fair wis asked IL he had N.Y.
thing to say in reply to The New York
Herald editorial on the Nevada bank,
Maekay and the late disastrous wheat
deal, in which it Is strongly asserted that
Macka5 lost a n immense sum of money.
The Herald editorial, among other things,
referred to Senator Fair and his former
connection with Mackay, Flood and the
Nevada bank, In the following terms:
FIRST ruMors were set afloat to the effect
that Fair had retired, because he did not
approve the alleged wild speculations in
which 1t WAS limited MRchay and Flood
had been engaged. The facts are that
Fair simply retired from the concern for
reasons known to Mackay and Flood
Senator Fair, responding to the auss-
tion whether he had anything to say in
reply, said very quietly: ssThe inusndo
contained In The Herald editorial i don't
care to notics, but if 1t is any comfort to
those interested In Nevada bank affairs,
Idon't mind saying that I withdrew my
interest from the Nevada bank of my
cIwn free will, and I do not know that I
have had occasion to regret my action.
That's all.n

NEW YORK, Aug, 27.-The CONNER
efal Advertiser published a long article
entitled the Torpedo Ring IT q v
thst three OF the ave naval officers ccm-
posing the board appointed to test torpe-
does have been charged with being inter
ested In the torpedo invented by Captain
Howell OF The navy. The writer declares
that he has Investigated this charge and
finds that while there is NC proof that
any member Of the BOARD owns stock In
the Howell Torpedo company, there Ia a
strong bias in favor OF the torpedo, and
at least two OF the board are disqualified
to serve impartially. The stock Of the
Howell company is lagely held by naval
officers Secretary Whitney distrusts the
influence thus created and recently stated
to the writer that on this ecoant he
should not commit himself to any action
of the board. He will consider the facts
they report but not their recommends
tions and will act With great caution.
The writer goes on to cite extracts from
testimony reports, ETC., to show that the
naval officers, who have beeen most ac-
tive In creating q demand for torpedoes
and torpedo boats in the navy are them
selves holders OF Howell stock.
